Hmm. Pillsbury used the generic “caramel & coconut” instead of Caramel deLites or Samoas. Interesting. (Spotted by John W at Walmart.)

If you’re out shopping and see an interesting new product on the shelf, snap a picture of it, and send us an email (theimpulsivebuy@gmail.com) with where you found it and “Spotted” in the subject line. Or reply to us (@theimpulsivebuy) on Twitter with the photo, where you spotted it, and the hashtag #spotted. If you’ve tried the product, share your thoughts about it in the comments.

Also, if you’re wondering if we’ve already covered something, search our Flickr photos or use the search box on the right (or below if you’re on a mobile device) to find out.

Turns out Thin Mints is the only cookie name trademark owned by Girls Scouts of the USA. The rest of the names are owned by one of the 2 bakeries who make the cookies. So Girl Scouts and/or Pillsbury would actually have to license the Caramel deLite or Somoa name from the bakery.

Also the mix seems to be lacking the chocolate stripe of the traditional cookie.
